I can redirect usb devices from one machine to another without the host machine requiring a driver.
The 'discontinued' flag is a bit of a misnomer as development was moved to Linux kernel mainline
Unfortunately, USB/IP not works on Ubuntu Precise currently, because can not find its kernel modules. (it was renamed)

From the website: You need a Linux machine for the server side
I guess it's only works for windows if the USB device is connected to a Linux machine
